The Department of Security takes an active role in ensuring the personal safety, security, and well-being of Students, Faculty and Staff at Edgewood College.
Edgewood College Security works closely with the City of Madison Police Department and the UW-Madison Police Department to ensure that areas on campus are as safe as possible. We are a community within a community and an active part of the City of Madison and its residents.
The Security Department is staffed by six full-time officers, five part-time officers, and a total of thirty student workers. The department maintains a staffed presence 24-hours a day and offers a variety of services to help keep students, faculty and staff safe.
On campus, there are a total of five Blue Light Alarm Systems. These alarms serve as a series of emergency stations to help provide assistance to anyone in distress. When the alarm is triggered, the Campus Security Department will be notified to dispatch an officer or an emergency team member to that location. Please familiarize yourself with the campus blue light locations on the Campus Map.

The Eagle Emergency Notification System was designed to provide notification and instruction to students, faculty and staff in the event of an emergency on campus or a cancellation of classes. The mass notification system will only be used to send critical safety information to the Edgewood College Community.
In compliance with the U.S. Department of Education and according to the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, Edgewood College makes public annual crime statistics as they relate to our campus. In addition, the Dean of Students Office works closely with the Security Department to ensure that students are safe and free from sexual violence and gender discrimination.
